Interview
The entire interview process was so seamless. From the email touch points to booking your interview slots, they thought through everything and used great third party tools along the way that made everything efficient.
The people I met with were really nice, and made the interviews actually enjoyable.
Some people commented that the Life Story interview was invasive, but I had a different experience. The interviewer asked a fairly broad question which allowed me to pick and choose what experiences I wanted to highlight. It may be different depending on which HR person you get though.

Interview
Shopify has a Life Story phone screen interview where you are able to take the conversation anywhere you want. You are largely in control of direction but at times I was asked specific questions but it all felt like a casual conversation.

Interview
The interview process was long, however, relatively straight-forward. The first round was their "Life Story" interview where you tell them about yourself and how you got to where you are now. The second round was more technical, and you'll present a project you've done as well as talk to them about your design challenge from your initial application.
